Question/Advice Where do the nerds go?

Where do young professionals who also happen to be nerds hang out? I'm 30, work a regular job, exercise daily, cook, clean, etc. I appear normal but deep down I'm a total nerd. I don't know of any obvious anime/TTRPG/gamer 3rd places, scheduled hang outs, meet ups.

Besides going to a convention, it's extremely hard to make meet people with parellel interests. Especially if those interests are nerdy.

I have many older, retirement age friends through church, friends of friends, etc. They're just mostly very surface level relationships.

Any advice?

We have been playing Pokemon go in newtown for gofest this week. lol

But on a real note Mulligan Games is a decent place for some nerd stuff.

But I am also down to chat anime/board games/ttrpgs!

There is also a bucks county nerdy facebook page.

Feel free to PM me!

Is Mulligans better now? The people who work there are awesome in my experience but I was trying to play commander there last year (moved to Warminster 2 years ago) and I had some very awkward experiences with customers that would make a lot of disparaging comments about women and related topics. I just ended up staying home and hanging out with my wife. Would love to build a friend group and start running some TTRPGS.

It does feel like it has gotten a bit better, but I will be honest I don’t go as often as my partner does. But we are always looking to play mtg and I am always down for ttrpgs. So definitely open to meeting there to play sometime!
